Halloweenopalooza!

Wow!  The past day and a half have been a whirlwind adventure.  Friday night was the Boiler Room Halloween party.    I went as David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust, and my entire costume was found in the basement.  It came out pretty great, I’m pretty proud.  I picked up Katrina, well I waited for her to finish getting ready for a while, then we left.  But, in her defense she always goes all out with her halloween makeup and it always looks awesome.  This year she was Medusa.  I helped Rob put his costume together very shortly before he left for work.  He ended up being Conan the Barbarian, Retired.

Funnily enough, Amy showed up as Medusa too.  They both looked amazing.

It was a great night, and a pretty good kick off to a very busy next 24 hours.

Rob and Shauna and myself met Mike & Leah at Brad & Joy’s apartment at 1:00, and moved them into their new house.  I took pictures of the inside of their house, which is frickin’ awesome, but I’m gonna let them share them with you.  Here’s the happy home-owning couple:

Immediately following moving, Rob and I went to Tony and Jenny’s kids halloween party for kids, where Rob performed a magic show.  It was pretty funny to watch Rob “make magic” and have the kids be amazed by what he’s done, or have the one kid who’s old enough call him out on his fake tricks.

…then it was time for our party.  This time I was Joan Holloway of Mad Men.  And Rob was, well, he was “Joan Holloway” too.

DSC_0151iThis was the first of three different costumes Rob would wear throughout the night.  Whenever anyone asked what he was he would say either Joan Holloway, or Erin.  And in a high pitched shrill voice he would pretend to be me scolding him.  Shitty thing was, there are no pictures of me dressed up.

DSC_0215iAaaand costume #3.

DSC_0216iWe had a pumpkin outside for everyone to sign.  If you look closely or zoom in if you can, you can see the inappropriate thing Katrina/Jon Benet wrote.

The night ended right about the time the clocks turned from 2 to 1.  The party was a success and I think it may have been the best Halloween.  That is until I was getting ready for bed.  I noticed my lips had swelled up quite a bit.  They’re still a little swollen as I write this.  i may have been allergic to the lipstick I wore.
